Heat Issues.
F22A accord with t3/4 turbo, car over heats real fast, only have enough room for half size radiator, i need a really good one, what do you think about a fludyne or nock off on ebay, will it help, also have 10' slim fan, what are some other methods to cool down motor.
Any 1/2 sized dual core should be more than enough
A few tricks to make it cool faster or stay cool are
-remove thermostat so water is constantly pumping
-hardwire fan to switch so its always on
-water wetter @ autozone, decreases temps by lke 20* but costs $15
-get more air to your rad via vents/ducting etc
-get hot air out of the motor (jack up back of hood with washers)
-thermal wrap exhaust pieces in engine bay

you can hardwire the fan to operate when thje car is in the "on" position, and have a switch to it. So you can manually override the fan. Water wetter really works, I'd do that, and also make sure that the fan you've got sits flush up against the back side of the radiator and not sucking air through the sides not toching, if that makes sense. Maybe cut out the webbing in the bumper as well?
Tell us the situations that cause it to overheat. This may narrow it down to maybe a lifted head.

Yea i ment 10", well the way the down pipe is the radiator is all the way to the left in the engine bay, so if i put the fan right on that the air wouldnt be hitting the motor head on, i have no idea what a water wetter is or what it does, and the fan will have a switch so i can turn it on or off wheneven i want, and i am gona get a dual core aluminum rad, something like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HONDA...QQcmdZViewItem, i was thinkin fluydine, but thats pretty much the same thing, no quite sure why it over heated, but no fan is most likely why, and a small radiator, thanks for the sugg.
